Mourners lit candles on Monday (November 9) at a makeshift memorial in Krakow, near the main square where a gunman killed six people on Saturday (November 7), leaving bullet holes in a building wall at the scene.

The gunman, a 24-year-old Polish man, died in hospital on Monday.

Very little information has come out about the shooter who died in hospital on Monday. He was shot and arrested by police minutes after opening fire from his car in Krakow's historic main square.

The government had said the assailant, identified by prosecutors as Michal Oksinski, a 24-year-old from the town of Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski in southeastern Poland, may have been inspired by far-right ideology, without providing further details.

"We are angry, both sad and disappointed that something like that happened in our country," visitor to the makeshift memorial Andzelika Stefanska-Kowalik as she stood at the memorial.

Eyewitness and tour guide Maciej Mizejewski said he heard heavy gunfire and later saw four people lying in blood, being given first aid by passersby. He said he believed the authorities could have prevented the tragedy if they had reacted early enough.

Police also found the bodies of the suspect's parents and sister at his home in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, about 200 km (124 miles) north of Krakow. A prosecutor's office spokesperson said it was highly likely the same person carried out both killings, and that investigations were ongoing. Sixteen people were wounded in Krakow, including two police officers.

“So I was standing here, right on the corner where we are standing now, and I went to get a slice of take-out pizza. A friend calls me and said: ‘Take that pizza to go. Don’t eat that pizza there, we have another tour group, hurry up’. And I ignored him and said: ‘Actually, I’ll eat this pizza here’. And that is what I did, and that decision saved my life. Coming back through Szczepanski Square, I heard a barrage of gunfire. I soccer fans were setting off flares—we had the derby in Krakow the previous day. Distressed tourists were running from the Market Square, asking (in English) ‘gun? gun?’, and I said no, impossible, (in English) ‘impossible’. But I hid in a gateway and waited to see what would happen; when the shots fell silent, I quickly walked over here. And I saw four people lying in a pool of blood, being resuscitated by random passers-by.”

“Personally, I feel terribly sorry for the families of these victims. These people lost their lives unnecessarily. This did not have to happen. It could really have been prevented if the services had reacted early enough. They could have prevented this tragedy; they could have prevented this tragedy. I say this with full responsibility for my words. Now, of course, we can pray for them, we can sympathise with them, but we could have prevented this tragedy, because it would have been enough if the services had risen to the occasion, and it would certainly never have come to this.”
